I got my drain out at 7 days. 3 days later I started having Puss coming out of the incision... Dr. put me on major antibiotics and said to be in his office this morning... I had to be cut back open about 3-4 inches they washed all the puss out and put the drain back in... I feel better and all I can say is maybe the drain wasn't so bad after all...

Great review?

Sounds like u are on your way to a good body again and pretty soon! Scared and anxious was how I felt until the morning of the procedure 9/28/12. That day I was just wondering when I went crazy....LOL. But I'm on the flat side now and glad I did it.

Feel groggy from the meds. Hate the drains. Don't like feeling like an invalid. On the other hand, I am very thankful that soon I may have an attractive tummy for the first time in 20 years. A stronger core should make me look and feel better.
